Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm a classical singer with a Bachelor of Music in Education degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Opera is my first love, but I also teach a wide variety of styles (musical theater, pop, country) as well as general vocal skills and musicianship. I perform in professional Opera (Austin Opera)and light Opera productions (G.S.S.A.). I also sing in more Folk/Americana styles on a regular basis for a local church. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Mandolin Music Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I love to get students excited about playing the instrument. The basics are important to learn but it needs to be fun first! If you are a beginner, let me show you some easy ways to play along with your favorite songs and get you excited to hear yourself play! Once you get the excitement, you will want to pick up your instrument and practice every day. My philosophy is simple, it is better to play a small amount of time on a consistent basis than it is to practice once for an extended period. Read More

I give all of my students a mixture of technical exercises, repertoire pieces, and creative assignments to keep things interesting and varied. We will spend about half of the lesson on technique and theory, and the other half on understanding, and appreciating different musical styles and how to improvise comfortably and confidently over them. I have a much heavier focus on songwriting, and composing than most teachers, and I encourage my students to be as creative as possible while giving them the tools to do so effectively and correctly.

Instruments: Piano Voice
Chris was a member of UNT's A Capella Choir, ranked among the top five undergraduate choirs in the nation. He has worked with numerous acclaimed performers and voice teachers including Laurel Miller, Lella Cuberli, Richard Croft, Dr. Stephen Morscheck and Dr. Stephen Austin. He has led, taught and performed in small singing ensembles that performed vocal music from a variety of genres including 16th-Century Madrigals, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and Barbershop. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
As a cellist and pianist, I have enjoyed an international performance career as a chamber music player, soloist, and string orchestra musician. As a performer, I love chamber music and soloist playing, both music paths that I have been cultivating and expanding. My love for teaching comes from the uncountable great life lesson from my music teachers that I wish to give back. My education conveys the traditional and contemporary techniques of teaching and playing with the goal of performing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute
For beginning students, I typically start with simple traditional songs that they know. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For advanced beginners to intermediate-level students, I try to find out what interests the student may have, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun—no matter their ability level.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard
I ALSO TEACH IN PATTERNS & NUMBERS over just notes, this way, one can play any piece in any key much easier! I will paint mental pictures that will help my students to never forget what Im teaching. (Oh and they will BEGIN using both hands). For more advanced students, again, the more variety the better. Depending on what the student’s goals are, I will draw from a wide range of selections. I always make it a point to show my students how to play by ear AND by sight. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Humans are creatures of habit and our physical abilities are dependent on muscle memory. In order to practice effectively it needs to be part of a regular routine, not an appointment, special occasion, or chore.
If we can practice 5 hours a week, we see significant progress in the first year.
My advice is to find a time when you won't be rushed or distracted. The end of the school/work day, when all of your obligations are fulfilled is best. Some days 60 minutes will be enough time to make significant progress, sometimes 60 minutes won't allow you much advancement, but 60 minutes, 5 days in a row, will yield noticeable improvement. Muscle memory is more deeply programmed when we sleep, so returning to a failed task the following day will recently yield success. As we experience this success we are more inclined to practice each day. I highly recommend playing 1 hour a day, when the day is done, Monday through Friday.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child has an obvious attachment to music, like singing constantly and sounding out tunes on an instrument, then it may be time to consider lessons. Children can learn as early as 5 years old, but its hard to get a genuine commitment out of a child younger than 8.
If a child is agreeable, has shown a sustained interest and is the sort of kid who completes homework or enjoys sports practice, then there is a good bet that they'll practice enough to see results.
In many cases piano is a great way to create good habit like discipline, commitment and project completion.
When will I start to see results?
That depends on a great many variables. Talent and commitment are the most important factors to seeing results. With a commitment of 5 hours a week a child or young adult can see significant results in 6-12 weeks.
If one begins lessons early enough one can see seriously impressive results within 6 months. If one practices 5+ hours a week with regular lessons at the end of 2 years one can feel so comfortable on their instrument that they won't be able to remember a time when they couldn't play proficiently.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I learned to play on the 1954 Wurlitzer spinet that my Mother's Mother bought and played. My mother learned to play on that piano and I began playing on that piano when I was 5 years old. Piano was a form of discipline in my household, but I had a healthy appetite for music for as long as I can remember.
At 13 I took up saxophone and later bass. At 18 I realized the superior utility of the keyboards. A saxophone is monophonic, a bass requires not hands to create a limited amount of notes, but piano is the only instrument played in chromatic half-steps, left to right, low to high, with 88 note polyphony, and rhythmic independence for each hand. No brainer.
